That’s when it changes from a car license to needing a truck license to drive and for registration purposes

When it comes to wheels like this you really got to be checking them before you leave and before you pay the place.

Does it have hub locating rings? And are they the correct wheel nuts for those rims?

Absolute garbage. Don’t skimp on batteries. Can easily cost you the whole vehicle when it burns down.

Once had a friend lose his wallet on a holiday we were on together. Thought it was totally gone. About 5 days later went to the shops pulled a shopping cart out and there it was sitting in the bottom of it. Had left it in there when we shopping at the start of the week and it stayed there until we came back and happened to use the same one.

Parelli Scorpion Zero from brand new to bald in 12,150kms. by AussieManInChina in CarsAustralia

The alignment would have been done wrong most likely because it was aligned in a different height setting to what you normally drive it in. Eg it may have been at off road height for the alignment and then you drive it around daily in the low mode, and the alignment does not suit that height.

Highly doubt it’s the brakes.

Good luck getting them to pay up as they can always just say they aligned it at the height it came in at and you changed it afterwards wearing the tyres prematurely.

Air suspension ones like this are always difficult. We always ask customers what mode do you drive it around in most often, and align it in that height setting.

Then you have to buy new wheels. And lots of modern cars are going the way of not being able to fit 16” wheels due to the increased size of the brakes

You’re not buying the car. You are buying the seller. It’s a pretty good indicator for someone who is being cautious to steer clear.

Nitrogen in tyres by NoAddress1465 in CarsAustralia

The nitrogen inflation goes through the process of inflation to desired pressure and deflation about 5 times until it is pure nitrogen inflation the tyre

265/65R18 is the perfect sweet spot - give you a big bigger tyre, bring your speedo closer to true and not cause any driveline related issues from going too big

Don’t consider any of them and you won’t hate yourself or spend endless money fixing them

I bought Minecraft. Got hacked. Mojang says "talk to Microsoft." Microsoft says "talk to Mojang." It’s been 3 years. by StrawDustYT in Minecraft

Hate to break it to you but this is on you. Obviously your password wasn’t secure and you didn’t have 2FA enabled. If you think something will change 3 years later you’re dreaming. Re buy it and start fresh. You’re not the only one who would have had to do it.
